A terrifying moment was captured on video as tourists crossing a high suspension bridge over a river canyon appeared to experience a structural failure, causing mass panic and a desperate rush to escape.
The uploaded video, titled “break bride.mp4,” shows a line of people walking across a wooden-planked suspension bridge high above a rushing river. The surrounding landscape is mountainous and heavily forested, suggesting a popular but remote tourist destination.
Sudden and Terrifying Break
Around the 0:09 mark of the video, a distinct, loud cracking or snapping sound is heard. The camera operator and those nearby immediately react with shock. A man’s voice is heard exclaiming, “What was that?” followed by another voice stating, “Oh my God! The board’s splitting!”
The video shows the bridge structure violently shifting. One of the primary cables, which appears to be part of the side railing and support, is seen violently shaking as people begin to scramble.
Scramble for Safety
The fear escalated rapidly as the bridge shuddered. A desperate warning is then shouted: “Everyone back up!” and then, with increasing urgency, “Cable snapping, move, go back!”
The final frames show the camera operator’s perspective dropping sharply, indicating an immediate retreat or that the bridge itself was giving way further, while the last word heard is “Falling…”
Unconfirmed Location and Casualties
The exact location of the bridge and the date of the incident are not immediately clear from the video. Furthermore, there is no immediate information regarding the safety or condition of the people on the bridge at the time of the apparent failure.
The footage serves as a frightening reminder of the potential dangers involved in adventure tourism and the importance of structural integrity in high-risk locations. Authorities are urged to investigate the footage to determine the location and ensure public safety.
